is being an exciting fighter mean automatic money???

[ferocity]

I think if you have an exciting style yes you will make money, but in order to make the big money you also have to prove you're worth. You can also be a smother boxer and still make money, as long as you prove your worth the money the money will be there.

My advice is don't try to fit a mold. But make sure you develope your style and that you win. The money will be their, but which ever style you chose you have to be able to beat some of the bigger names in order to get the bigger money.

hmmm yeah true. there some fighters that got good records but they aint makin no money cause there style is booooooooooring

"Technical" boxers don't make big pay days until they're champions and they're fighting other champions. Exciting fighters get paid millions to fight average competition then cash out huge fighting the elite competition.

im jus curious. i mean i want an entertaining style but is that the money getter and if so why dont every try adn do it

Not necessarily. A fighter with an entertaining aggresive style is an exciting fighter. But fighters like those, still needs a prominent and influencial promotional outfits for them to get the shots and exposure they need to be recognized.

If the fighter get recognized for his skills and exciting fighting style then that results to MONEY.

Remember friend, there are a lot of exciting fighters out there but not everybody gets the recognition.

Julian Jackson was as exciting a fighter as I've ever seen.
He never made the $$$ someone with his style & power should have....

[TyrantT316]

you have to also be winning and be likeable

it depends on so many things...your hometown, your cult following, how you conduct yourself, race, who you fight...

not just one thing

Agreed on Jackson - was he not promoted well, didn't get the fights with the right exposure, or did he lack any charisma?

He's just a bit before my time so although I've seen a number of his fights (and was really impressed) I've no idea about how he was thought of in the sport while he was fighting.

I don't know what it was. You'd think it was King, who buried most of his fights underneath someone else. But, at the same time, he was being exposed to a large audience by fighting on cards headlined by big boys like Tyson & Chavez.

He one-punch KO'd Terry Norris, who then himself turns around & becomes a sizeable name in the sport. One problem.....after KOing Norris, Jackson was out of the sport with a detatched retina for about a year. Momentum killer, perhaps ?

Those who followed the sport closely, recognized he was special.
He was far from unbeatable, he was not that kind of special. What he was, was a once-in-a-lifetime type of power-puncher.....who was also vulnerable.

The art of boxing is to hit and not be hit. Some fighters can do that and still be exciting. An example of that is Floyd Mayweather but others like Bernard Hopkins arn't. With a guy like Hopkins you have to appreciate how good he is at winning rounds, not how exciting he is to watch.
